Angel, I'm so sorry I never explained things better to you. I should have.
You can see here I put a line in your other leg to show what a normal leg should look like. That's a line from your hip through your knee to your ankle. So this clearly shows how much 'off' your other leg is.
And 15 degrees is a LOT!
"Knock knees" or "bow legs" are two non-medical terms that people use.
Doctors say valgus and varus deformities.
The amount of deformity here relates to the amount of damage in a knee joint or that something is wrong in a TKR. In your case, it very clearly states that something is wrong and I would guess it's a loosening and that maybe even one of the parts has slipped out of place.
Until you get a medical opinion and xray on this, I strongly suggest you stop trying to walk on it, rest lots and use your crutches to get about the house.

Guess I missed it lol. Thanks for the info. I find that the doc must not have payed attention to my knee... I messed up by going back to the other doc. But I was in agony... Thanks again.

@Josephine I had to read it a few time. I fully understand. I will do as you say. Don't want to mess up no more.
I know we can't be certain. But there is no other reason for it. But why would a revision be messed up. Prob cause the doc is not good and wanted to shut me up. Makes me fill do stupid.

Hi @Angel1978,
Josephine's advice to you is very sensible. Something is not right there. Use your crutches to keep the pressure off your knee a bit. Take your pain meds as prescribed. You're going to need to take it really easy for a few weeks until your appointment. Could you ring and ask if they have a cancellation perhaps? Or would keep your name up for one if it came available.
I totally understand that this is going to be quite tricky for you, esp with kids. I think you're going to have to sit them down and talk to them. Explain what's going on and how you really need them to help you for the next few weeks. I don't know if this will do any good but it has to be worth a shot.
You will be a little more at ease once you've had your X-rays done and seen the OS. This way although it may be not what you want to hear, you will at least know what you are dealing with. That helps a lot...
Keep strong, pray and believe in your faith. All these will help you up until this appointment.
Please take care
With love

Thanks @nana moon27 am following nurses orders;-) off here. I don't want to jeopardize anything.
It's hard to be down. I have not did good for a while. And don't want to ruin any ones out look on recovery.
I' had a good 18 easy days in dec. then bad time. Then from March till about a few weeks ago it was normal. So makes me just wonder.
Anyways I'm doing as good as I can be. But in the back of my mind it really makes me sad. For lots reasons. I can't walk with out pain. And I cry and way more than I should. I want to be the perfect recovery.
So today is just as the last week sit walk some and rest ice and prop. Thanks for looking after me. Xxx

I agree with @Nana moon 27 , call the OS and ask them to call if there's a cancellation. It's a shame for you to be in pain any longer than you need to.

Angel, I'm so glad you have an appointment. I think the nurse's suggestion to go to the ER in the hospital where this doctor practices is a good one. Can you do that soon? At least then you would get an xray of your knee. If it's something really serious, you might get referred to the doctor faster than July 23. I want to be sure that you don't injure yourself more by waiting.
Right now don't even think about what may have happened and who is to blame. It really doesn't matter. The important thing is to get to a good surgeon who can help get you back on track.

Yes, there are people who have multiple revisions ... and ultimately have success when they finally find the right surgeon. Please try not to worry. Sorry you are down with the flu and hope you do get better soon.
